Step 3: Test the Schedule

You can verify the schedule in two ways:

Option A: Passive Verification

• Allow the system to run normally.
• Use Transaction Logging or check controller times to confirm retiming occurred.

Option B: Manual Time Shift Test

• Change the PC’s time to simulate the schedule.
• Example:
  • Set the retime action for 00:05.
  • Adjust PC time to 23:55.
  • Ensure the PC clock passes through midnight automatically.
  • Confirm the Scheduled Action executes at 00:05.
